I ended up with 245/35/R20 Pirelli P-Zero (N0) on the front and Michelin Sport 4s on the back. The extra 1/2 in of sidewall on each side is well worth it. I no longer scrape coming out of the parking garage at work so that little bit extra gave me the ground clearance I needed. Since they fill up the wheel well more, the car looks like it is lowered a touch even though it is actually higher off the ground. The extra sidewall handles the pot holes better as well. They kind of glide or bounced over it instead of feeling the tire actually fall into the hole and then hit the cliff on the way out if. It was a much less violent hit.
You can feel the turn in is not quite as sharp but it is a very minimal difference. Ride quality is improved a bit and I haven't noticed any extra road noise.
With the stock tires, I would have traction issues all the way into third in perfect dry conditions. Once switching to the Pirelli P-Zeros, there are no traction issues at all even when pushing it. In the wet and at 75%, still no traction issues. When I get the tires rotated, I will test out the Michelins and see if I get similar results.
The only thing I wish I could change is getting the speedometer to match up again but that is really not that big of a difference. When it says I am doing 60 mph, I am actually going 62.3 mph.
